Young Europe project - Meine Mutter Medea - German play

(Ma mère Médée - Meine Mutter Medea)
A play by Holger Schober
Coproduction Theater & Orchester Heidelberg & Comédie de Genève

The new kids with the strange names have arrived and they sit in front of the class, supposed to be introducing themselves. Always on the run, away from home before even knowing the word home. Away from the familiar language, away from friends, away from everything that was important. Medeas children are telling the story how they experienced it, how they understood it. So, a completely new picture of the myth is offered, and Jason and Medea are once pulled out of the fable-environment, which turned them into larger-than-life characters. They are presented as what they are in the first place: parents. Parents, who are making mistakes, but who keep being parents, regardless how much they are running away from it.
Part of the Young Europe project "Young creation and education in theatre", held by the European Theatre Convention from October 2008 to March 2010.
